The recent introduction of advanced programmability in widely available graphics hardware has already led to impressive progress in the area of volume visualization. However, besides the acceleration of the final rendering, flexible graphics hardware is increasingly being used also for the mapping and filtering stages of the visualization pipeline, thus giving rise to new levels of interactivity in visualization applications. The talk will present recent results of applying programmable graphics hardware in various visualization algorithms covering volume data, flow data, terrains, NPR rendering, and distributed and remote applications.Item Computer Graphics forum(Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)Eurographics and Computer Graphics forum offer a variety of services on the international networks. You can find details ofour latest events, how to prepare a paper for the conference or for the journal and much more besides. This information can beaccessed mainly through the EG website but we also offer some support for ftp and mail server access.Item 3D Scanning Technology: Capabilities and Issues(Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002) Scopigno, RobertoThe recent evolution of graphics technology makes it possible to manage very complex models on inexpensive platforms. These impressive rendering capabilities should be paired with detailed and accurate digital models. The construction of high quality 3D models is made easier by the increasing diffusion of automatic 3D measuring devices (often called 3D scanners). These allow to build highly accurate models of real 3D objects in a cost- and time-effective manner. The talk will present the capabilities of this technology focusing mainly on a particular application context: the acquisition of Cultural Heritage artifacts. The peculiar requirements of this domain (high accuracy in the acquisition of both shape and surface appearance, expected low cost and easiness of use of the tools) make it a perfect application example. This talk aims also at presenting and discussing the main issues in the acquisition of accurate 3D models, together with some limitations of current hardware and software tools. Some examples of the results of current projects will be shown.Item Author Index Volume 21 (2002)(Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
